Advice Needed

[JES]

I would consider looking in the neighborhoods just east of El Camino Real in the Encinitas / LaCosta area. South of LaCosta Blvd., west of Rancho Santa Fe Rd., eest of El Camino Real and north of Encinitas Blvd. No mello roos, great schools etc. EG: Here is an example of what you can get in that very desirable area for 695k:

Don’t just take advice from parents get the numbers. There is a wealth of info available on the state’s website, here is a snapshot link

And the link at the top left takes you to the school accountability home where you can get api, college acceptance rates for high schools, demographic data of students, economic data of students, etc. I have known people who put their kid in a private school and warned me about a school but I knew their kid and that kid was an idiot and a troublemaker. So take advice with a grain of salt, look into the facts and visit the school in person while students are there.

Doublewide, you are killing me, the same no offense intended, it’s all in good fun:

Lets see, You moved to Temecula and didn’t put your kid in the schools, that’s like going to Hawaii and avoiding the beach, it’s the primary reason people live here. And friends in Sabre springs send their kids to private school, another McFly move, creekside elementary in Sabre Springs in one of the best in the State, few public schools are competative with private schools but that is one of them. Some neighborhoods in the Poway district are priced higher because of the school, why pay the premium and not utilize it, what’s next, eating Taco Bell in Puerta Vallarta, Pizza Hut in Chicago, Bottled municipal Los Angeles water in the Sierras, always take advantage of what the local area does best. Oh yeah I have met lots of people who hate drinking and gambling, they like to go to Vegas for the weather, scenery and sweet aromas in the casinos.

Oh Temeculaguy…you’ve cut me to the quick :>)

FWIW we did put kid in the local elementary school when we first moved up there in ’04. At the time Crowne Hill Elem. was not yet finished so EVERYONE and their mother’s nephew were attending Abby Reinke. The place was an impacted mess. There were 35 kids in my kid’s 4th grade class and they had a brand spanking new teacher – it was ugly. Since no one can be discriminated against the 35 students covered the spectrum from ESL students who couldn’t speak a lick of English to GATE students who were bored out of their minds and acting up. My kid fits in the middle somewhere and was totally lost since the shiny, newly minted teacher was so overwhelmed. TVUSD has a homeschool program so we pulled our kid from AR and did it ourselves through the district. It works for us. Then and now our kid was/is working with the school curriculum, I’m supervised by an accredited teacher and our kid’s STAR and CST test scores are now all advanced. The property taxes we paid up in Temecula were still going towards our kid’s education so we weren’t shelling out extra cash for private or even to homeschool and now that we’re doing the same in San Diego while renting it’s almost as if we’re getting school for free since our dear landlord pays the property tax (at least at this place where our rent barely covers owner’s mortgage payment). All in all, good choice for us.
